I've been thinking about some type of decal or maybe engine specifications badge for my 2008 Vert ashtray cover. I don't really want to go with another C6 flag emblem I have too many Flag emblems inside the vehicle already from the factory. Does anyone have any pics of creative things they have done with their ashtray cover???

From the pics of some cars here on the forum, apparently there is no number of Corvette flag emblems that is too much.

Haven't seen any in over a year. Here's one version that didn't survive because GM wouldn't license it:

If you're "go" guy, there's a N2O panel that fits in there. I've also seen two small gauges in there.
If you're a "show" guy, there's overlays like the badges and plaques as well as textured covers in CF and/or aluminum.

I've been considering what to do with that space as well. I only keep change in there now. If it'll hold a meth controller, I'll probably slide that in there.

If yours is a Z51 vert then a Z51 fender badge would work.Thought of fitting a ZO6 emblem on mine.
